Hardiest Sweet & Bell Peppers In Zone 7b

tlcmd · January 18, 2013

Year after year, my bell and sweet peppers are a flop; small low yielding plants. Otherwise, my small home garden (1200 sq ft) grows herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, squash, wormwood, blackberries, and marigolds very well. I am in Greensboro, N.C. Zone 7b. Any suggestions for hardy varieties of both sweet and bell peppers would be appreciated. I'm getting ready to order seeds this weekend. Already have tomato and parsley plants in my flats up to about 4-6". Plan on both Snow Berry and Bolseno tomatoes (I'm in a spotted wilt area) which have done very well in the past, Zephyr squash, Eureka cukes, and Clemson Spineless okra. I have both Powis Castle and Artemesia Absinthium wormwood at different ends of the garden.

Thanks,
Dick (aka tlcmd)
